An abandoned beach hut can be found along the beach, partly obscured from view by tropical vegetation. It is not known who built the hut but there are signs that the previous inhabitants of the beach slept here as can be seen by the hammocks and mattresses in the main room, while a few supplies including bags of rice and cans of food can be found in a storage room. Finally, an old sea chest can be found in the middle of the main room but it is locked. It looks like a key is required to open it...

As Tyler, Kevin, Marchbaby and many others found themselves shipwrecked on a beach they decided to make the most of their terrible situation. " I do believe this hut can act as a shelter until we can build something better. It looks like it has not been used in a while given the condition of the wood however it could also be that whoever lives here just hasn't repaired the hut yet for some reason. We should go look for some supplies to try and spruce the place up a bit." Tyler and Marchbaby dreaded working together at all but as doing so was the only way to survive they figured Kevin would know a thing or two about staying alive.
" Maybe I can find a good vantage point to go look for something. I have a few Pokemon who can scale those rocky looking ridges in the distance." Marchbaby then headed towards Heaven's Ridge. While he did so Tyler and Kevin had to decide where they would look first. " There was another Beach I think I saw on the ride in. I will take a look there and see what I can find." With the other two gone Kevin headed deeper inland towards the Rock Pool hoping to catch something he could fry up as a meal.
OOC: Sorry for any confusion anyone may have had but the Secluded Beach opened on Friday so feel free to join in at any time.

After the mysterious bird Pokemon had fled and everyone was pretty sure they could be safe again, Trixie was exhausted. She spied a nearby hut on the beach and stumbled down the sand into it, finding - to her relief - a selection of hammocks inside. Collapsing face-first into the nearest one, she tossed and turned fitfully, eventually releasing herself to the darkness of sleep.
The next morning, once she got her bearings in the unfamiliar surroundings, Trixie (and Shade, who didn't sleep at all) would set about exploring the hut. They found a storage room, mercifully unlocked, with enough canned beans and bags of rice to last the survivors for at least a few weeks. Clearly whoever lived here before was keen to the virtues of stockpiling for leaner times.
But the most eye-catching thing about the hut was the golden treasure chest set right in the middle of the main room. Of course it was locked; they turned the hut upside down looking for a key, but that proved fruitless. Trixie tried what she could, bashing various objects and Pokemon moves against it, but stubbornly shut it remained. Maybe the person who left their treasure sitting out on the floor, where anyone could come and try to steal it, wasn't so dumb after all. They had certainly hidden the key well.
With nothing left to do, Trixie sat by the entrance, letting herself calm down from the events of the night before she would step out to face a brand new day. As she did, she kept a look out for any passers-by - hopefully someone with the know-how to open the alluring treasure chest.

After battling with Lugia and being totally exhausted from the experience Marchbaby headed for the wreck of the SS Zulu to transfer one of his Pokemon so he could make use of one of the Water Stones he had been saving. After depoaiting Alpha in the PC Marchbaby took out Patrick the Staryu he had been holding onto for some time now. He had never gotten around to training the poor thing but he figured evolving it might help him in some way on his quest. He held the Water Stone against the young Staryu and within seconds it started to glow. When the glowing stopped Patrick looked even more elegant than it already did. Patrick you look amazing. I can only wonder what moves you can learn now. You look like you might even be able to support my weight across the water. Once we get off this island I am taking you to the Move Relearner and seeing what they can teach you." Marchbaby then headed back towards the beach hut that he had made a brief visit to earlier with his new Starmie by his side. He had not been to the hut in a while and was curious to see if anyone else had started using it as a shelter while he was away. OOC: Decided to evolve Patrick the Staryu in this post. I will remove 1 Water Stone from March's inventory.

It was the morning after the Lugia attack, which Astrid somehow had managed to sleep through, she must really had been exhausted after the shipwreck. Luckily others woke in time to handle the beast and chase it off and the day after was a mixture of shock and victory intoxication, Astrid hoped it could help the survivors to work better together and organize their stay until help hopefully arrived. She would be sad to die here and never return. Soon they realized that some people were missing and panic spread in the ranks, was something abducting them for an unknown horrible future? Where had they gone to? What had happened? Astrid managed to calm some of the others down somewhat, pointing out they were just early risers and had ventured out to explore or forage. She volunteered to go out and search and see what she could find, it was limited how much she could help chop wood or fetch water for the camp. When she left some argued that nobody should go around alone, that it was too dangerous if accidents happened, but no one tried to stop Astrid anyway.
She walked along the beach, thinking this would be easiest but she quickly found that the soft sand was tough and her makeshift cane kept sinking deep into it. It was still early morning but soon she was sweating and gasping for air, the ocean right beside her was getting tempting. A flash of light ahead of her caught her attention and she looked up to see some figures near a hut. A hut? she walked over.
"Good morning!" She greeted, they looked somewhat familiar the ones staying at the hut, "what a pretty pokemon, is that one you have caught here?" She asked and pointed at the starmie, and smiled to the girl relaxing in the door opening. She gestured to the hut, "have you made this one?" She asked impressed, "that could be really useful!"

Kecin was on his way to the beach hut when he trippee over what he thought was a small bluw rock. As he examined it however it was clear he had tripped over a Water Stone and he was filled with joy. Without another thought he went to the salvaged PC and put Fortress in his party while putting Frost in his PC. Once he made the switch he held up the water stone and showed it to Fortress. " Fortress it has been a long time since I last used a Shellder but if I recall correctly this Water Stone will allow you to evolve." A bright white flash then appeared as Fortress started to evolve into a Cloyster. Kevin was over the moon as his young Shellder evolved and even seemed to learn a new move in the process as she fired off a5 series of sharp icicles into the air. " Well I'll be, that was Icicle Spear. What an excellent move for you to learn. That will really come into handy when we attempt that trial I heard about. Let's go show March how strong you have gotten." He then led the giant Pokemon towards the beach hut. As he did so Marchbaby heard Astrid ask him a question and responded to the elderly trainer. " Unfortunately no, Patrick came to me in a package one day as a Staryu. I have no idea who sent it or how it got such a unique appearance. Even after evolving into a Starmie it is still a mysterious Pokemon." he then saw Kevin approaching with a Cloyster and could hardly believe his eyes as he never expected such a powerful Pokemon to live on the island. " Please tell me I am seeing things right now. Did you really catch a Cloyster here?" He asked quite shocked by the appearance of the large creature. Kevin started to laugh before he explained what had happened. " That would be quite a catch but no. I caught a Shellder and on the way here my clumsy self tripped over a Water Stone. It made the fall worth it however as I was able to evolve Fortress into the Cloyster you see now. She might be young but with her Skill Link ability and tough shell she is a pretty tough gal." The two then sat down on the beach as Marchbaby was in awe of the Cloyster Kevin had acquired. It was not as rare as a Weavile but it was still not a common Pokemon in warmer areas such as this. OOC: Using Kevin's Water Stone to ecolve Fortress. Fortress forgets Tackle to learn Icicle Spear. Updating everything myself.

As Astrid talked with Marchbaby, another flash of light happened in the distance and the old woman looked briefly in that direction and wondered if that was another evolution. Seemed like a lot of those happened these days, for one reason or another. She nodded along with Marchbaby's explanation about his staryu and nodded politely as Kevin arrived. The two clearly knew each other and quickly was swooning over a cloyster, too busy to answer her questions about the hut. She took a few steps away to let the boys have their conversations undisturbed, "I wonder of these are some of the supposedly missing people," she mumbled to herself and looked closer at Trixie. The girl hadn't reacted at first, perhaps she was sleeping?
Astrid stepped closer and waved a hand in front of Trixie's face, if she didn't get any reactions from that she'd gently shake her shoulder. "Hello? I'm sorry to disturb you, are you alright? Have you made this house?" Astrid asked curiously which the girl hopefully would hear.
No matter if she got an reaction at all or not, she'd return to the two men and interrupt their conversation anyway. "I'm sorry to disturb, but there are perhaps missing people from the cruise, do you know any of that?" She asked calmly with a smile to show she didn't think it was an emergency. "They might just not want to live in the camp with the rest, but the numbers have dwindled and it would be nice to figure out why," she explained.

Had she dozed off? Trixie awoke to an old woman gently shaking her. "Bwuh... Elite Four champion... Huh?" She had been dreaming after all. She was still trapped on the island, still at the beach hut, and still just had one badge.
Had she made this house? "No, it was already here when I arrived," Trixie said. "I think someone lives here... or used to, a long time ago. There's tons of food in the storage room that doesn't look like it's been touched in a while." She would slowly pry herself up from the floor, and motioned to let the old woman inside the house. Then the woman mentioned that people from the cruise had been going missing. "I'm sorry, I don't know anything," she shrugged helplessly. "I hope you're right and they just wandered off on their own. It would be really bad if they got attacked by wild Pokemon. Or pirates!" She had no idea if pirates still existed in this day and age, but when adventuring on a tropical island, it was always a danger, wasn't it?
Next she would direct the woman's attention to the treasure chest. "Do you know how to open it? It was just sitting in the middle of the hut here. Me and my Pokemon have tried everything, but we can't get it to budge." She narrowed her eyes in thought. "Maybe the people who left are searching for a key to the treasure! You think we should go after them?"

As Marchbaby and Kevin noticed Astrid return they were both caught off guard by her question. They had noticed a large reduction in the number of people compared to how many were on the ship but they had no idea why. " No I cannot say I have heard anything about anyone missing but I have noticed there being a lot less people. I do hope they are ok." Just as Marchbaby finished speaking Kevin responded as well. " It could be that some of the others may have set up came elsewhere or are off exploring other parts of the island. I can only imagine what Pokemon call this island home." As they both pondered other things that might have happened to the survivors they noticed Trixie's interest in the treasure chest inside the hut.
Both of them were curious as well but knew the only way it was going to open was to find the key where ever it may be. " We tried to open this chest but without the key nothing else is going to work. I can only imagine where the key is if it has not been lost for good." In their search of the island so far they had not found a single hint of the keys location or that the key still existed for that matter. It was certainly something to keep an eye out for as they were quite curious as to what may be inside the chest. It could be empty for all they knew but until they found the key there was no way to know for sure.
As they were looking at the chest Tyler came back from his travels on the island letting Doofud the Pelipper out of her Pokeball so she could stretch out her wings and get acquainted with the other survivors. As she could soar above an area he felt she could make a great lookout if any rescue boat came near enough to shore. " Doofus meet the other survivors. You might be an ugly bird but you might be a huge help later on. If anyone gives you trouble you have my permission to attack them as you see fit." He then stretched out on the beach with Mania and Fenrir by his side making sure no one would pick a fight with him.

As three new faces appeared at the Beach Hut, Trixie would recognize one of them right away. "Hey, I know you. You're the trainer with the Magnezone who really helped us out during that fight with the giant bird from the ocean." She introduced herself and hoped that the others would do the same. With social pleasantries out of the way it was time to get down to the real business. "What if it's all connected? The ship sinking, the missing people, and the treasure chest." She held a hand to her chin in thought. "Come to think of it, no one has seen Captain Oak since the ship sank. Is he one of our missing people? Maybe they're searching for the key to the treasure. Which means..." She snapped her fingers. "We gotta find them all first so they don't get ahold of the treasure before us!" She sent out Vertigo, the dragonfly Pokemon buzzing around happily in the too-small hut for the number of people currently packed inside. "Vertigo, you can scout from the air. The rest of you should join in, too! The more the merrier, and the more eyes to search, the more likely we'll find something, right?" Although she had doubts as soon as the words were out of her mouth. The old granny might not be able to make as strenuous a trek as the rest of them, though. As for the teenage boy with the Pelipper, he likely wouldn't be a good adventuring partner either, judging by the way he talked to his own Pokemon and was trying to threaten the rest of them. That left the Magnezone trainer and a real mountain of a man who seemed to be loaded up with tactical gear. "How about it?" she asked the two of them, hoping at least one would agree to come along. [words=310] Marchbaby want to do the Escapade after this?

Marchbaby was glad another trainer recognized his Magnezone, Shocker had been a huge help against every legendary they had faced so far and the poor Pokemon was exhausted. As Marchbaby went to introduce himself he realized that the other trainer had not said their name. " Ah yes, Shocker is one of my most powerful Pokemon. My name is David Woflgang though everyone calls me Marchbaby, I do not believe I caught your name however." As he waited for her name he listened to her theory about how everything might be connected and he could not help but be intrigued as he had helped to put a stop to the first part of the captains plan. " I cannot deny that as it would make for a great backup plan after Venom, Kevin, and myself put a stop to the captains original plan. As much as I would love to help however my team is at their limit from all of these battles. I do think Kevin would be in great shape to go however." As Marchbaby stopped talking Kevin quickly jumped at the chance to go on another adventure. " No worries there March, my team is well rested so we can easily set out. Samantha and Oracle can track almost anything with their powers. So long as the trail does not lead underwater we should have no trouble trying to tie up all these loose ends especially with a Yanma's help."Kevin then sent both Samantha and Oracle out so that they could help track down everything they needed to hopefully prevent another disaster from happening. OOC: Jenesis I am ready to start it whenever you are.

Nate had left the Rock Pool after doing quite a bit of battling with his Pokemon getting pretty strong from all of the battling that they had done. But the last battle had him concerned since before the battle, Lei who he had decided to team up with had gotten hurt by a Krabby and hurt his leg. So, after the battle was over, he had decided to go look for some medicine for her. He had gone to Paradise Falls, Palm Beach, Placid Lagoon and the orchard but he didn't find any medicine or any medical people who would be able to help his new acquittance. So, Nate decided to head to the Beach Hut with hopes of either finding out some information on where the correct medicine was or where a medical personal was currently located. Luck nuzzled up against Nate. "It's okay, Luck. I am sure we will find some sort of help soon. I don't want her wound to get infected by something here." Nate gently stroked his bug type. He entered the hut and looked around. "Hello..." Nate called out. "...by any chance does anyone know where I could find some medicine or a doctor or nurse? A trainer I was facing wild Pokemon with got injured by a wild Krabby and I left her at the Rock Pool in order to find her some help. But so far I have had no luck so far."

For much of the time stranded on this Poke'gods forsaken island, Oberon had been away from the many castaways and did their own explorations. The whirlpools were almost impossible to pass, and with only their Squirtle, Wurmple, and Poochyena around for moral support, they wouldn't risk their health ans safety.
But hey. There was coconut, which was a good alternative to the company they surrounded themselves with.
They pushed a hand through the lilac part of their hair, searching through the cabinets to see what could pair well with coconut. Some of the leftover berries the trainers left, some marshmallow and other foods. Could the coconuts be shaved and toasted for a delicious treat? Unlikely, unless they wanted some sand and stone grit as well. They reached up to see what was in an unmarked container when a voice made them almost bolt right out of their skin.
"Ack!" Oberon yelped out, dropping the can onto the ground near the foot. They turned around to face...Nate? Wasn't that one of their names? The guarded expression across their face resumed it's place, listening to the trainer as they went on about someone injured. "Wh, what kind of injury?" They asked after a beat of silence, voice tight from the small spook. "There are some bandages here, but with how many pokemon are attacking, we may be running low on those too."
